ABSTRACT:
An interface apparatus for power and/or data connections, comprised of a connector assembly (101F in FIGS.1A and1B) which has a configurable plug (101A) with conductors (123A and B, and125A and B), and a barrel-style assembly (103) that engages a receptacle (101B) having conductors (157, 159, 161, and163), and related elements (127, 130, 133A, and133B in FIG.3) that redirect electrical signals upon insertion of the plug. Redirecting electrical signals enables host devices, power sources, and peripherals—such as a host device (168in FIG.1B), its battery source (166), as well as one or more attachable peripherals (150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162and164in FIG.1A)—to transfer signals in ways they could not without such an apparatus. By locating a receptacle (101B in FIG.1B) in replaceable modules, such as battery packs (166), users can upgrade and enhance the functionality of a multiplicity of existing (and future) electronic and electrical goods.
